Somehow I do not think any one who was smart enough to evacuate would be Dumb enough to Evacuate on I-10 East to Gulf Coast of Mississippi.

That's not what I was talking about. Were the east bound lanes converted into west bound lanes, and if so, how far did that go?

I believe the E. bound I-10 were open Contraflow from Slidell through the I-59 interchange into MS. The W. Bound was open Contraflow to the spillway west of Baton Rouge.

In any case the worst place one could have been when the Storm hit would be along the causeways out of town. The city is an island during the best of days.
